Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PiperProFlight at none against Waterbomber Wildfire Tracker's 6. PiperProFlight also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Waterbomber Wildfire Tracker's advantage is ratings volume (147 vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.6). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
